Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Custom media, good filtration, skimmer works great, easy to start
|
|
Cons:
|
Can be noisy sometimes. Not the highest quality construction
|
Comes in 4 sizes, I have the 55 and 75 models. Great for using custom media. skimmer works like a charm, its a good HOB filter.
Not perfect though. It is a tad bit flimsy, can be rattly if its not all snug, and if the water level is low, it will rattle itself loose, making more noise, and when the filter gets clogged up, it sounds like a waterfall. Skimmer will suck up air when water level gets low, making a loud churning noise, and again, rattling things loose.
I have it running side by side with an emperor 400 and honestly aside from the bio-wheels its a better performing filter. Higher flow rate, the media is a breeze to clean, change, and setup as needed, and it starts like a champ everytime.
